Product Reviews of Crane Demineralization Filter Cartridge for Crane Frog, Cow, Pig, Panda, Penguin and Elephant Cool Mist Humidifiers
Product Review: Does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
My humidifier is a penguin-shaped one. I had no problem whatsoever installing the filter. The only thing that you want to keep in mind is that you have to give it 15 minutes to pre-soak, so that the water from the tank starts to get through. I've been using it for about a month now, no white dust whatsoever.
The only concern of mine is whether you win anything with this filter pricewise: it costs around $8 and serves for about two months. So, you should see for yourself whether it is cheaper than buying filtered water to fill the humidifier up. Ultimately, it boils down to how intense you use your humidifier.
Product Review: Flawed, but good idea
Summary: 3 Stars
The humidifier is cute, but either the filter or the main mechanism may be flawed. Some other people mention this in their reviews. After a month, we've had to whack and jiggle it to get the light to turn green even though there is enough water and the float is working.Product Review: Good

It does what it is meant to do and it was delivered on time. Nothing to complain.Product Review: Good one
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this product after going through all the reviews. The product does what it says...I have seen considerable reduction in the white dust accumulation in the room and well as mineral deposits on the operating surface of the humidifier. I have used it only for 1 month now...and the filter is still working...
Cons:- Only problem i found was that the filter doesnt fit the humidifier perfectly. [To the first time users - this filter replaces the existing cap of the humidifier tank].
I own the Crane Penguin humidifier and the tank sits on the base perfectly with the original cap. But with the filter (even after securing it tightly to the tank) the tank doesn't sit perfectly on to its base...it remains a bit raised (due to the imperfection of the filter) and causes the water vapors to leak thru the sides...not a big deal though. And I am not sure whether it's a problem with the particular piece i bought.
Product Review: Good with some models
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this to use with the Duck Humidifier and it worked perfectly. However I got the Penguin a week later and I think the spring release (to trickle more water) does not work with the Penguin... I think it's not screwing on properly (in spite of trying a thousand times to do so). So if you got the penguin like a lot of folks, be aware this might be a waste of money.
Update: I contacted Crane and the service rep said this was probably a defect with the Penguin Humidifier, and to fill out the warranty card and send the severed power cord (gruesome!) to them and they will mail a replacement.
Update: I mailed them the cord and they, at no charge, shipped me a new Penguin, and it's working perfectly this winter with the filters. I guess the threading on some of the Penguins is off.
